Proposed billion-dollar plus Planet Oasis is largest project in Ohio in decades

Planet Oasis, a proposed multi-billion dollar entertainment complex on 350 acres in Delaware County, is “the twice the size of any other project” in Ohio and “will continue to expand in following years,” according to developer David Glimcher in a recent Columbus Business First article. Planet Oasis will include an outdoor sports park, an e-sports facility, an arena, 15 to 20 hotels and 75 to 85 restaurants, among other attractions; Glimcher said it could create 15,000 jobs. A second Columbus Business First article reports that the capstone “would be a 200,000-square-foot UltraStar Multi-tainment Center, featuring a movie theatre, bowling alley, laser tag arena, arcade and a ‘uni-coaster.’” The project “is already in a tax-increment financing district with a joint economic development agreement set up for the Tanger Outlet Mall” that opened in 2016.
